Kara & Ebony Antonio
Trailblazers Kara and Ebony Antonio are the first married couple to play AFLW, with the duo pulling on the Fremantle Dockers guernsey together since the competition’s inaugural season in 2017.
Hailing from Perth, the couple first met through football at Swan Districts in the WAFLW. They were engaged soon after when Kara popped the question in April of 2018, before tying the knot in 2019.
Initially wanting to keep their lives private, the Antonio’s made the decision to speak publicly about their relationship in an effort to inspire change and encourage others to be proud of who they are.
They are available for booking together or separately.
